I don't think we explicitly made claims of attainments (for the
sake of making claims of attainments). What's the point of
answering questions like "Are you enlightened? Is your wisdom eye
open?" unless they are of practical help? If you asked me "how do I
attain to insights", then I might answer you if you are sincerely
seeking to gain wisdom for yourself.
We simply share whatever insights and experiences we had if it
can benefit others. So far many people have thanked me and told me
how our sharings were of help to them.
Recently a Soto Zen priest (who himself gained realization of
anatta) was telling me how my blog and e-book were of help and he
had taken my e-book as a guide. Likewise there had been many before
who had benefitted, many now have deeper insights and
enlightenment. You think my e-book is for fun and show-off? lol
It is for these sincere, dedicated practitioners that I felt
compelled not to keep my journey secret, but to share it openly for
the sake of those who might benefit from it.
What's the
point of answering questions like "Are you enlightened? Is your
wisdom eye open?" <--- Oh, very simple. If you're
un-enlightened, why the heck u think people would even look to your
blog and e-book in the first place u tell me? You'd have to
convince people you're enlightened to a certain degree(s), if not
why you got the different "phases" or "stages" that u've coined up
man(and stating u're at which stage, etc). 450 pages(and growing)
of pdf, u think u can bluff your way out of this? LOL. So...that's
what u've been doing, and will continue to do.
